Vladimir Putin’s administration has endorsed a plan to bolster the prime minister’s party by flooding social media with messages designed in Russia and posted by influential Hungarians. ft.trib.al/fT6SXiG
Marco Rubio asked Trump for permission to speak Spanish at the Shield Summit of the Americas, while Pete Hegseth insulted Spanish-speakers by claiming he “only speaks American.” My take on how Rubio’s continued bootlicking demeans the office & our country’s global standing.

As a Board of Visitors member, Erika Kirk is one of 16 members responsible for making recommendations to the Secretary of Defense about changes at the Air Force Academy.
Is this typically a board filled with ideological influencers without any connection to the US military?
in case you've never seen it, this is Roger Ebert on The Mummy
Good. But these beautiful kids shouldn't have been there in the first place.
An Edward Gorey drawing showing a morose looking black bird on a branch. He (and this feels very much like a he) is pointing downwards with one scraggly wing, and looking straight ahead with debt-filled eyes. His beak is long and sharp, like winter on the Great Plains. He is pointing with his right wing, but this means he is pointing to your left. Your wicked, sinister side. This is no accident. The Bird makes no such mistakes. But he is talking, and the text tells us that he is saying, "Beware of this and that." Honestly, you feel his message in your bones.
Some days I just feel like this Edward Gorey bird gets it.
If I had a nickel for every time Franz Ferdinand was involved in the precursor events of a world war, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird it happened twice
The guy who voices Master Chief from the video game "Halo," who was featured in a White House meme video showing missiles blowing people up in Iran, calls it "disgusting and juvenile war porn" wapo.st/3NhffGm
Fruitcake. It's fruitcake.
Yes, hello, is that God? Yeah, hi. I have a complaint. You gave me this brain that’s designed for finding berries and avoiding lions and now people are ‘just circling back’ to see if we can ‘move the needle’ on ‘key initiatives’? NONE of those things are berries.
Some things we must not forget:
1: The Epstein files, after all, that’s the reason Trump started the war in Iran.
2: ICE is still kidnapping people and brutalizing them.
3: Trump does not care if there are terrorist attacks on American soil that kill American citizens.
oh my goodness -- watch Mike Johnson, Scalise, Emmer, and McClain clap like seals for Trump for nearly two minutes straight. None of them want to be the first to stop!
Johnson: I think what we are learning from the Epstein files was a well-coordinated act of treason. If you think about how they use blackmail to get policymakers to act outside of the best interests of this nation and our Constitution, that’s treason.
If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected — young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! — and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.
can't help but notice whose losses are expressed in dollars and whose losses are expressed in lives
Thousands take to the streets for women's rights: 'We won't give up,' says Gisèle Pelicot at Paris march
The consequences of this war for Americans will be bleak and take decades to unfold, but it will impoverish and provincialize them in ways that would have been unimaginable ten years ago
The text: CHILD CARE for ALL thanks to women like these Over a collage of images of six women.
On International Women's Day, we celebrate the women making universal child care possible — NYC's child care providers, showing up every day in classrooms and living rooms across every borough.
Always remember the time in October of 1975 when 90% of women in Iceland went on strike: zero paid work, housework, or child-rearing were done for the entire day.
The entire economy drove to a halt, men were forced to take on unpaid labour, and everywhere sold out easy-to-make meals like sausages.
Normalise the second question when you meet an American outside of America being “who did you vote for?”
Bad Feminist is this month’s selection for Dua Lipa’s book club. It’s really neat given that the book is nearly 12. A tween! The number of randos who have written me asking me to connect them to Dua Lipa is so alarming. I don’t know her!
Literally licking his lips while talking about sparking a world war

When It Happens, no one will need to call you.
You'll just feel the deafening roar of cheers shaking your house like an Air Force flyover that never ends.
Forget watching the McDonald’s CEO eat a burger, I want to see Elon Musk eat a Cybertruck.
Text reads: If this is a holy war, let evangelical churches pay for it, not taxpayers on a light pink and beige background with soft shadows.

Reporter: Did the US bomb an elementary school and kill 175 people? Trump: Based on what I’ve seen, it was done by Iran. Reporter: Is that true Mr. Hegseth? Hegseth: We’re investigating. Trump: It was done by Iran. They are very inaccurate with their munitions.
this is unspeakable
This is the post of a deranged madman. It is the pure sadistic glee of an insane person who relishes having the unencumbered power to murder innocent people. This pedophile psychopath has ZERO business being president of the United States. 😳👇
A newspaper headline from over a century ago, reading: WOMEN ANARCHISTS HAVE BECOME THE TERROR OF WORLDS POLICE Their Daring Crimes Are Said to Have Out- stripped the Deeds of Brothers of the Red Search for the Woman is Becoming a Safe Rule in Crimes Proceeding From Anarchistic Violence—The Guardians of the World Nearly Always Finda Woman Implicated When a Ruler is Stricken Down—Emotional Women Lose Sense of Fear.
Happy International Women's Day. 🏴
I get yelled at for saying this but for many hundreds of years people went to university not to get diplomas or be employable but because immersion in the humanities was considered foundational to a good life, and school must return to its original purpose: the joy of learning.
